In a few months, I will be in the market for an iaido blade, along the lines of this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...A2GM128TAMFX16
Ideally, the price should be 100 FRNs max. I'm willing to negotiate more if it's a high quality piece. Thanks in advance!Domo arigato.
Wish I could help
Whetstone Cutlery has a 27 1/4" , something similar in stock for around $19 , not sure about quality , but for $20 you could gamble.
I cannot remember for sure , but try amazon.com Whetstone CutleryOriginally Posted by heavenlyboy34
For $ 95 FRN's, I may be able to check the local shops and find you something a bit more civilized, a machete, a decent Bowie and a Tomahawk.You are scaring me with that Cavalry sword, LOLIn a few months, I will be in the market for an iaido blade, along the lines of this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...A2GM128TAMFX16

LOLNot to fear, uncle Oyarde. The Iaito blade is dull, and designed for practice. It is the daito (katana) that is razor sharp and can decapitate a person in one swing. I have a while to go before I get to try the daito. And I've never seen a machete that's all that civilized or a good substitute for a sword in dimensions and weight.
ETA: The iaito is nothing like a cavalry sword. There's just no comparison.
Yeah , I knew they were for practiceLOL

Do you care if it is made of aluminum alloy or wood? I've seen some on the internet around 109.00 for aluminum alloy hand made (nice looking too) or wood for less than 100.
edit: I would love to make one from wood, but for that price I would only make 3.25 hour or less (since I don't already have the specs or jigs built).
edit2: Can you imagine one made from cocobolo or purple heart? Oh man, or Bois De Rose?
edit3: I'm not sure I have a large enough piece of Bois De Rose left, I would have to check, so don't hold me on it. I just checked online and I'm not sure I can even legally buy any more.
